What is funny is how some people want to right away say "mine is better than yours"? WHY? I know that as a Valentine One owner and an RX65 owner I like them both and each of them for different reasons. I PERSONALLY like the V1 better for a few reasons. I HATE the term V1 Zombie. One needs to ask themselves "why are V1 owners so persistent in defending and raving about their detector"? The most consistent reason that I keep hearing people say is because they paid too much for it and now feel like they have been ripped off? This is BOGUS since the V1 has AWESOME resale value. In most cases someone can sell it for the same price they bought it for! I remember being on www.opinions.com and reading people's review about how the X50 gave a 20 second head start warning compared to the V1 and vice versa. All of this is CRAP. I have owned all three detectors and I can HONESTLY tell you that all of them warning you just about the same with maybe a 2 to 3 second difference on RADAR. The only difference is X band and this is because the X50 is not equal to the RX65 and V1. The ONLY clear advantages the V1 has over the other two are the fact that it is a radar locator, has greater peripheral or wider vision, and the fact that its laser detection capability is unequaled. In terms of laser detection the V1 CLEARLY is on a league all on its own where it cant be argued. There are some features that I really like about each one. The X50's multiple band identifier, the RX65's talking band identifier, and the V1's arrows. Out of all of these I must say that I like the X50's multiple band identifier and arrows equally (maybe lean towards the multiple band identifier a little more than the arrows). The feature that I think is WAY overated is the frequency identifier. To ME this feature is useless but to some maybe not. The bottom line to all of this is that all three detectors are great. As far as the falsing issue each of the big three has their issues. The RX65 and X50 does not stop falsing with POP enabled and these are not just low alert falses but FULL BLOWN falses to the point where it has to be disabled. The V1 seems to be IN LOVE with K band and cant seem to get off this band. In advanced logic (the only mode I keep mine on) the falsing is much more tolerable but not on the same level as the RX65 and X50 with POP DISABLED. Now lets see what attacks arise :shock: Keep in mind that these have been my real world experiences and not made up myths
